We wanted to dance to it at our wedding, but the shifts in tempo made that weird, so we chose this, off the same album:

Out of the people that ever were, almost all of them are dead.
There are way more dead people, and you're all gonna die
and then you're gonna be dead for way longer than you're alive.
Like that's mostly what you're ever gonna be.
You're just dead people that didn't die yet.
--Louis C.K.

The green careening planet
spins blindly in the dark
so close to annihilation.

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

You have great taste!

My favourite on that album is Billy Strayhorn's Lush Life. In fact, I think it's one of the greatest songs evah!

Oh, I agree! I try to sing that one to myself on grey days. Just don't have the lower range...

I love Paco de Lucia. Actually, another one of my favorites is him with John McLaughlin and Al diMeola:
